I think you're very brave and handled this situation very well for such a young girl. I can't even fathom what it's like to be in your shoes. At 16 you've gotten pregnant, had your first born child, and given it up for adoption. That's a lot to go through for a 16 year old girl. This could have been prevented, however I'm not judging you for your mistakes, because after all we are human and are bound to make many in our lifetime. I'm here to praise you for all the things you did right during your pregnancy and were blessed with. You were there throughout the whole adoption process, and even went the extra mile in taking time to really get to know who your baby was going to. You were blessed with a great support system, which made this a lot less stressful for you. You are a quirky girl who took responsibility for her own actions, and gave a mother who was ready to care for a child this gift of life. I commend you for doing this Juno, I know it took a lot of courage. You did the brave thing despite what others would say, and that to me shows true strength. I'm not sure what I would have done in your situation, I would've been scared as hell that's for sure, but as for my decision I think I'd need some time to decide what I would think is best. Oh yeah, I wouldn't have that much time, so I guess I'd just choose what sounds best within the limited time frame, cool.
I think the fact that the 14th amendment is a "privacy right" and "liberty claim" is amazing. No one should feel scared that their medical records should leak out. Every citizen should have the right to choose whether or not they want an abortion, and the right to not have everyone snooping around in their business. In Roe vs Wade abortion became legal, because we wanted to stop unsafe back alley abortions, we wanted to give women an alternative. Abortion should be rare and legal.
